THESE two sticks of tobacco were grown side
by side in the same field. The upper stick is
a sample from tobacco which received fertilizer
containing 10% potash and produced 1,511 pounds
per acre. The lower stick is a sample from tobacco
which received fertilizer containing only 5 % potash
and produced only 1,028 pounds per acre. The
10% -potash tobacco sold for 6 cents MORE per
pound than the 5% -potash tobacco.
Field tests throughout the bright tobacco territory
have shown that farmers can profitably apply two
to three times as much potash as the average crop
receives. The table below shows the results ob
tained by adding 5 % potash to the average fertilizer
in tests by 138 farmers on 1,242 acres. Fertilizer
containing 3 % potash was compared with fertilizer
containing 8% potash; or fertilizer containing 5%
potash was compared with fertilizer containing
10% potash, etc. j
